Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil Junkie Swatches & Review

Recently, I placed a Sephora order and took advantage of my VIB Rouge membership to get free shipping.

It must’ve been a long time since I purchased Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencils because the last time I did, I remember that the shade Junkie wasn’t offered as a permanent colour. But…it looks like now it’s available for individual sale! YAY!

I don’t talk about it often (not sure why not), but the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil Junkie is my favourite eye liner to wear, other than a typical black pencil.

I love using Urban Decay Junkie on my lower lash line because it really adds a fun touch that makes brown eyes pop!

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil Junkie Review

Colour

The colour of Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil in Junkie is what really hooked me in! There’s something about teals like this. They really brighten up brown eyes and complement them!

This teal isn’t too vivid, but it’s bright enough that when I wear it on my lower lash line. It has an awesome gold shimmer that really catches the light. It’s not so bold that it’s in-your-face, but it’s noticeable when people catch your gaze. I love it! 🙂

Finish

This has a very metallic, shimmery finish, so if you want something really subtle, this definitely isn’t the one for you.

Application & Formula

As with many Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencils, this one applies very well. It’s creamy and pigmented. You get a lot of colour pay-off, even in a single stroke, but you can build up the colour as well.

I love the waterproof formula. It stays in place, and it doesn’t move all around like a lot of eye pencils tend to do.

Pros

Beautiful teal with gold shimmer

Creamy application

Waterproof formula wears great throughout the day

Cons

Expensive (At $24 CAD, this is the most expensive eye pencil that I’ve ever purchased at retail price.)

Final Verdict: 10/10

I am in love with this pencil, and you have no idea how happy I was to see that it was available for sale individually!

If you have brown eyes, this totally makes them pop, and if you are a fan of teal eye liners with some shimmer, this is a must-have!

Now that I can buy it solo (and not in a limited-edition set), you can bet that I plan to stock up on this shade! Gorgeous!

Yeah, the price makes my wallet sad because it seems crazy just for an eyeliner. But when I use up every little bit and try to hold out, I find myself going right back to Sephora to get a new one. It’s so pretty! (Haha, it’s kind of a funny thing to splurge on an eyeliner.) At least during the recent Sephora VIB Sale, there was a 20% discount. Make it sting a little less!

It’s even better in person – makes eyes pop, and it’s really fun! I love to use it to line my lower eyelid sometimes for just a pop of colour, and then use black on my upper lash line. It may sound strange, but it works, and it really brings out my eyes.

They have soooooo many different colours, so you’re bound to find something to suits your taste! Junkie is still my favourite colourful eyeliner by Urban Decay, although Zero (the black) is my most-used one. 🙂
